XLR panel build ( How to secure the connection with shrink tube)

- Here I show you a cool way of securing your soldered XLR cable to the XLR female connector without having the weight of the cable cause any crimping or damage to the connection by using shrink tubing. and of corse this method would work for any connection you are making be it XLR, TRS..etc
really good video dude. well done voice-over, detailed filming of the process, & very clear explanation of a cool trick!
Thanks!
Thanks for making & sharing this. Very helpful!
Thanks I was looking all over for something like this!
This is great. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks alot for this video! Helps!
You’re small torch is a good choice for applying the shrink tubing but if you do a lot of electrical connections in you’re audio work you might want to pickup a heat gun from Harbor Freight. I have one and it works great for shrink tubing. Nice video.
Just head to the $ store and pick up a 6" hand held BBQ lighter. It's far easier to use and way cheaper than a heat gun. The flex neck version is great for heating/reaching the backside of the shrink tubing.
Thank you!
Great video! What type of cable are you using? Installation cable or stage? Thanks 😊
What gauge did you use for the heatshrink tube? Currently doing a few XLR panels and shopping for the right tube since I'm doimg about 48 xlrs.
why did you not connect pin 1 (ground) to the connector shell tag??
What is the other pin you didn’t connect anything too is that for like phantom power?
Also, to make the panel, did you just use a 1U blank panel and rivet the XLR connectors in or were they already punched for XLR connections?
No the one i’m using here was pre cut, just some generic panel I took a gamble on with amazon, worked out well though.
@@admaudioproductions4972 Thank you
Great Video. Thank you. May you please tell me the size/shrink rate of the tubing over the actual connections and also the one that goes over all three smaller tubing. I have just started repairing alot of microphone wall jacks and using heat shrink in this way would not only look great, it will make sure these new repairs last a long long time.
What I ended up doing was just buying a pack that had 12 sizes and just gaged what would fit buy just sizing up different pieces until I found one that was appropriate for the two respectively. Not honestly sure about the shrink rate I’m just eye balling it by looking to make sure it’s snug around the cable. But yeah this stuff is great for multiple applications and looks clean ( of corse my work isn’t the cleanest lol )
do you happen to have a link to the shrink wrap that you used?
How were you able to tell which cables / connections to solder to? How do you know where to connect the red vs white etc
Every xlr connecter was labeled with 1, 2, or 3. 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative
Doing this same thing currently. Wondering about stress relief for the cables?
Wondering about this too, I have been looking for tricks to strain relief the cables on chassis’ panels, but haven’t been able to find anything up to now
@@jaspermelchers google the item Markerbar Panel Mount Connector Strain Relief Bracket. It goes on the backside of the panel and allows you to zip tie the cable down to it.
Hi, did you have any kind of ground noise issues? I did the same and I have it. Now trying to figure where´s the issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers
Never heard ground noise from this, could be coming from the outlet in some cases, not to sure what the issue could be
I need this for the back of my amp rack how to get this from you my location orlando Florida
there's a 4th tab on his connector panel that he didn't touch in this video. that is for "chassis ground".. you can solder a small lead from that tab (there's a hole you can feed a small wire through) to the ground pin on the XLR jack.--that's what it's meant for.. but in doing that, heat shrinking the ground right to the solder point wouldn't work. you'd have to leave some of the metal exposed in order to ground the chassis..
What type of wire are you exactly using?
Just a bulk 500’ roll of XLR cable I purchased off eBay. I would just cut it up into whatever length was necessary
I just keep thinking of the pain in the ass it would be to go back in for repairs.
Was JUST thinking that.
